Do you ever wonder why Congress hasn't passed a declaration of War, the President hasn't signed an official declaration Did you ever notice that Truman neglected that little detail with Korea? And JFK and (RETCH!) LBJ with Vietnam? And Clinton in a number of minor little skirmishes? Do you ever wonder why OBL's three wives and several children are still at large. They would be great bait, if we were really serious about catching Bin Laden. AH! So now you're advocating kidnapping! Somehow I fail to find this surprising! But what, pray tell, makes you think it would affect his actions at all? My answer: NO. Do you ever wonder, if we weren't manning bases in Saudi Arabia to prop up a corrupt regime, and support Israel in a most unfair way, that maybe they wouldn't have a reason to attack us? I thought we were there because the Saudi government invited us to be- -and to keep Saddam in control. He knows those troops are there and more will be if needed. Do you ever wonder how much money we could save by closing all our military outposts in the Middle East, give up subsidizing war mongers over there and give the OBL's no reason to attack us any longer? Why not just surrender? That's really cheap. Do you ever wonder if you would have anything to say if jingoism were eliminated from your small repertoire? Do you ever wonder what you would think if you had a brain?
